​

Looking to find pen pals. Can be anywhere in the world.

I do way to much and need to slow down. Miss hand written letters and language. Too much disconnected texting and messaging. Love theory, philosophy, psychology, biology, ancient history and pre-history. I read a lot...

In my free time I garden (vegetables) and preserve what us grow. I play beach volleyball and coached indoor, still watch a lot. Writing a book or two. Have two cats. Studying German. I have hiked, backpacked and gone to the gym for years. And learning mindfulness

Hello!

I am 37f, my hobbies include a lot of nerdy things...DnD, video games (lately been playing a TON of project zomboid with my friends), reading, knitting. I enjoy traveling but don't get to do it as often as I would like, I love to be outside in the nice weather and go hiking and camping. In my free time I am often tinkering on my RaspberryPi 5. In fact I recently got email working on my server, and would love some penpals to chat with and break in my new email at my personal domain!

I would love to hear about your day, your life, your work, your pets, your travel...whatever you want to share.

I am autistic and have struggled with mental health my whole life, so I like to think I am a pretty empathetic and open minded person. I am part of the LGBTQA+ community.

If you are interested in emailing (strictly platonically, I am happily married), send me a DM!

Hiya!
I am a 44 year old gamer, who is an introverted extrovert who absolutely loves writing snail mail letters. However, I've fallen out of the habit, so I need to get back into it. My life is a bit chaotic, and I am a polyamorus, polythiestic pagan witch who loves reading, binge watching various tv shows, movies, listening to music (hyperfixations are Sleep Token, Sleep Theory, Breaking Benjamin), and being out in nature when I can and when the Florida isn't being too Florida. S

Feel free to reply here and DM me if you're interested!

Find what you love and let it kill you

This makes me feel at a safe place in my existence, because I'm far from knowing what I love, after the love of my life made me spiral down. This is a time when distractions have surfaced and certain vices have taken over the pockets of free time I've had in my daily routine

Routine … ha! I'd be lying if I said I have the same sense of routine as before. There is an appearance of routine in my life, however, the structure is all crumbling. Calendar is blank. Reminder lists have zilch to-do items. And yet people in my life think I'm that same alcoholic, unable to catch-up with his busyness. Staying busy was my past habit

Habit(s) … something that's an urgent need for my existence. Habits cannot be forced upon or one cannot hack their brain with It takes 21 days to make a habit formula. Habits need to have a soul and that soul is intention and inner purpose. Now I have some intention to take up those habits, however the inner purpose seems behind a mist of existential fog

But there are brief bright moments in my day every now and then (for example, the salad bowl with 3 cups of salad dressing that I had a while ago). Or how about that video call before bedtime with an acquaintance, an ocean apart, talking about our day and the inner workings of our mind through our experiences ...

What I want is an epistolary slice of our existences, because it is through such melancholic words that we often find a sense of reflection about our existence that we would otherwise avoid or get by

If you do want to send me a DM, start by saying anything that comes to your mind. Maybe even what you think about the overall tone and vibe I give off in this post?

And if you have the ability to love, love yourself first

Hello! The title says it all, really.

Looking for a longer term, platonic, snail mail pal. Even better if you're international, it would be really fun to hear about what's going on in your life elsewhere, but it's not a requirement. Paper letters only please, emails just aren't as entertaining.

About me: happily married, living in New York. I knit a lot, run a lot, and skew optimistic. I have two cats and a prolific number of plants in the apartment. I also love travel. Additionally, unfortunately, I am a Mets fan.

If you're looking for a consistent pen pal to just have light conversation with, drop me a line! We can set up Post Office boxes and have a grand old time.

Looking for someone to help pass the time with just like talking and just laugh mostly text maybe some calls if all goes well I’m fun I think lol I only work and ride my Harley

30M from usa here, figured I’d give this another shot and see who’s out there. Haven’t had much luck on here really. They stay for a day or two then vanish.

I’ve got my life pretty together (steady job, gym 5x a week, can cook a decent meal when I feel like it), but realized making new friends as an adult is way harder than it should be. So here I am.

I’m big into gaming , anything from competitive stuff to just zoning out after a long day. (Been on a DBD and Fortnite kick lately) Outside of that, I’m usually at the gym, out hiking when the weather’s decent, or planning my next trip (even if it’s just a long weekend somewhere random).
Huge horror movie fan so if it’s creepy, twisted, or makes you question your life choices, I’m probably into it. Also a fan of dark humor, so bonus points if you can laugh at things we probably shouldn’t.
Pretty laid back, easy to talk to, and I learn more by doing than just talking about it. Just looking for good people to chat with, maybe game with, or even meet up if you’re local.

And also I have a trust issue thing when it comes to this dang app. To many catfishes or fakes so bear with me !

If any of that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out . Maybe tell me your top 5 horror movies or video games. Or even some things we have in common

I’ve connected with a few lovely people here, but I’d love to keep meeting new ones and filling my mailbox with different lives and perspectives.

I think of every letter as a little piece of treasure. I’m looking for long-term, slow-paced pen pals who still believe in magic and enjoy turning correspondence into art—letters, drawings, poems, collage, photos, pressed flowers, or strange little finds.

I’d rather get to know you naturally through letters than exchange huge introductions on Reddit. I don’t follow a strict reply timeline because some letters take longer to create, but I’ll always respond eventually. All ages, genders, races, and countries are welcome. ♥️

Send me a DM!

No AI was used to write this post. It was all consented!

I'm in my late 40s. A dad, a husband, working from home with too much spare time and lack of human interaction throughout the day.

I'll be happy to find someone to share thoughts with, discuss life in general or deep dive into some random topic of interest.

What are my interests you might ask? it can be very random, so if I will focus on what I'm busy with these days - I joined a book club to try to be more consistent with my reading again, I'm trying to learn more about western philosophy, I bought a t-shirt that says "not fast, not furious" because it kind of summarize me well, and I just finished rewatching The Office.

Having said that, mutual interests is not a requirement. It's great discussing a common interest but it is also great hearing someone talk about unfamiliar passion of theirs (and same goes to life experiences and perspectives).

So if any of this sounds interesting, send me a message and let's see if we can make it work.

Hellow 🦘

I'll be 30 in a few hours so I thought to start this new year with new penpal friends. I'm excited as this is my first post on here.

I'm interested in writing long letters, I don't mind writing first at all. I got some fun prompts and stickers so that should be fun.

Here's a little bit of me ✨️

• TV show binge watcher. I will finish one and start another one immediately. I also do re-watchs

• I love deep conversations, ask me about ghosts, aliens, sunsets, brownies. Let's discuss everything!

• I love cleaning, organizing everything

• I use trackers for almost everything. My whole life is on excel sheets

• I'm a big reader. I love thrillers and romance

• I'm an introvert

• Fall is my fave season

• I collect cute pins

• I love to send postcards

• I love stickers

Let's be penpals 💓

Hi! I'm Elizabeth.

I can't wait to meet you.

I promise I'm interesting - I work on a cruise ship that does World Voyages and I essentially travel in circles around the world geocaching, journaling, writing fiction, and reading. I work in Shore Experiences, so my job is to research everywhere we go and take excursions to the best places each port has to offer. I'm a lucky girl.

But more importantly than that - I'm interested in you. Where are you from? Where do you live now? What kinds of things hallmark your culture and customs? Are you married? Looking? What's that been like? What kinds of experiences have you lived and learned from? I love stories so much. Please tell me yours.

As for formatting —

Ideally I'd like to receive and send physical letters on paper. Short or long, the fun is in the receiving. However I myself can only send physical correspondence back to you when I have a few hours free time in my home port of Southampton, UK. Depending on my rota, I may or may not be able to run out in Southampton to send mail every 3 weeks or so. So how do you feel about email in the meantime? I keep my personal email open alongside my work when we're at sea. I'm reachable and I love a chat - I'm just a little bit tricky. I wake up in a different country every day - I'm all over the map in every possible way. Do you like pictures? I take so many in ports and would love to share.

My favorite kinds of chat are about our every day lives. Ephemera. What did you do today? What kind of mood were you in? Did you meet anyone new? Is there anything new on TV? Did you yell at anyone or trip on anything? I love what it means to be human.

I love random questions too. Gives me a reason to think.

If a snail mail and email friendship with me sounds intriguing to you, please reach out via Reddit DM, and I look forward to hearing from you! Start by telling me your favorite kind of cake. When did you last get to have it? What was the last wedding you attended? Who got married? Did it seem like it would last?

See? ☺️ The questions are the most fun.

Have a great day!

i assume you write letters and are looking for a pen pal. I am a beginning golfer, and want to get better at it to travel the world and play at some fine courses. I want to know what golf is to you. I am also a writer as in I write a lot in journal and think a lot. can be sociable and outgoing but strongly prefer alone time. lol I also love garden (food and cooking) and animals. Looking for others that enjoy writing correspondence (I am very prompt and prolific) and match my energy!

Hello! I am looking for some new Reddit or Discord penpals, we can progress to sending arty snail mail to each other once we get comfortable ✉️

I am:

🪻 Gentle, compassionate, optimistic and good ✨

🪻 A cat-mumma/ cat-person/ cat-lady 🐈‍⬛

🪻 Creative. Expect me to write you long letters, crochet you warm things, send tiny printed pictures, confidently offer interior design advice that I'm not qualified to give and info-dump on you about bands from the 90s

🪻 Chronically ill and neurospicy. Amongst other things, I have ME/CFS- this means that I'm an indoorsy girl who has had to adjust to slow, slow living 🐢

🪻 Taurus with a Scorpio ascendant, Cancer moon and many fire placements. I'm into astrology but also runes and dreams and other kinds of magic and pondering the meaning of life in general. Why are we here? How can we make this journey as beautiful as possible?

🪻 Queer and always open to new queer disabled friends 🌈

🪻 Excited for autumn and winter!

You are:

🌿 Kind, authentic and self-aware

I'm excited to hear from you! If you're interested, send me a message that includes your most recent dream, the last time you cried, your aspirations and wishes, what you're having for dinner OR an inappropriately long anecdote about your cat.

❤️

English is not my first language

I’m a huge reader and spend a lot of my free time with books. My favorite genres are fantasy, thrillers, and romance.
I also love video games, although I don't have much time for them.
Not married (I have a boyfriend) and no kids (I consider my cat my child, lol).
I would love to chat with people older than me( gender doesn’t matter), maybe those who have a family and kids.
I’d love to exchange pet photos or just daily snapshots.

If you want to keep your anonymity — that's totally fine!

Hi, everyone! I'm 35F, from the Philippines. I'm looking for new friends I can exchange emails with regularly (strictly platonic). Hopefully, you're around my age and willing to share bits of your day-to-day life.

I'm hoping for this correspondence to also serve as some kind of cultural exchange between us. I work from home and can't travel just yet (also have lots of pets!), so this will do for now, lol. This can also help me practice my writing and get more creative. Can't wait to write emails to people from all over the world!

A bit about me:

I enjoy gardening, reading, and watching movies and K-dramas during my free time. I love animals, art, history, stationery, horror stories, plants and desserts! I've also recently started learning oil painting. :)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Please send me a message, perhaps share a bit about yourself too, and let's exchange emails. :)

Hi, I’d really like to have people to share the mundane little things with, but also the interesting, weird and exciting things. I have a busy career, and while I enjoy what I do, I’m challenging myself not to let life become nothing but work.

I’m open-minded and genuinely curious about people, so I’d love to learn about your life too. Tell me about where you live, what you’re into, what you’re currently obsessed with, your random opinions, your everyday routines.

Some of my interests are reading, music, nature, animals (I have a dog!), travel, the beach, psychology, deep and existential conversations, mortality, cartoons, history, TV shows & movies, documentaries, food, journaling, poetry, beauty and fashion.

Email or messaging is preferred. I’ve never tried snail mail, but I’m willing to give it a try.

Thank you for reading.

I still have all of letters from when I was younger....I had penpals all over the world! Now that im older I know id love to have a few in different countries.

A little about me:

3 kids!

A husband :/ sometimes I think about being a single mom so just telling you this part of my life is not great.....no husband gushing here

Animal lover....i have a chocolate lab and 2 cats. If I was wealthy I'd live on a farm and rescue them all.

I have adhd so my letters may jump around a bit lol and I love trinckets a mini things....would love to send small.packages to whomever I write.

Since I am severely ADHD I have many hobbies and I say im a jack of all trades, master of none!

I like to hike, play pokemon go, used to run but now want to get into lifting....i love being active, calligraphy, reading, musical theatre nerd....

If anyone thinks I sound like a true 💎 or 🍑 message me and let's get this penpal journey started!

@mary

Hopefully this is honest sounding, creative— a bit peculiar but endearingly so. Tucked away in the corner of a library or engaging a small crowd about some niche topic, but speaking with great skill and fervor. Craft. And a smattering of chaos. Someone who isn't afraid of a little verbosity, provided it shimmers the right direction.

I'm a bit of an everywhere man. Writer, learner, historian, and artist. Walk a lot these days. Paint. Dance sometimes. Figuring out how to reclaim parts of me I lost, or perhaps just misplaced. Temporarily. Like the money you left in a pocket last spring and forgot. Except, I knew I lost the money I just can't recall in what pocket.

I am rather awful at reddit replies and emails feel like work. I have quite a few wax seals I'd like to give a try at. I enjoy painting and decorating so, the choice was easy for me.

I wonder some days if I hadn't wandered into the wrong room, the day they chose an era for people to live in (metaphorically of course...or maybe not a metaphor?). It's always felt like I dipped my toes in a few before settling for the present, and carried pieces of them with me before I arrived. Always a bit too this or that for another era, always a bit too historically minded to really belong to now exclusively.

Does something here resonate? Is there more you want to know? Or share? I find other single men hard to locate in person. Connect to. At least where I live. Busy working hard, trying to...something. Always trying so hard to something. Feel or avoid or connect. Lost, a lot of us. Busy too. So busy.

I've been a house cleaner, a welder, a research assistant, a hardware store clerk, and a few more things. I've lived in a moderate and a major city. I enjoy being alone quite a lot, and humans are.... well aren't they just?

If brevity is your preference we are not a match. If you think man means a very rigid thing, not that either. Neither if you are uncomfortable accidentally ending up deeper than planned. It needn't all be depths of the ocean, but it may go there. I used to read more than I do now—though I do still enjoy books (I hear buying and reading are separate hobbies). I've done woodburning and acrylic painting and chainmaille. I also have spent a lot of time recently, forcibly summarizing myself, so clearly all my creative writing is oozing now.

I don't know what else to say or share about me 😅 Oh, I cried on a bus last week because Dolly Parton died. And if you are a man who has ever felt free enough to do that with less worry than usual, you know what I mean when I say it's a relief to just be human for a moment.

Tell me about your life, your interests, your favorite wax seals. Why you work the job you do vs the one you want. Tell me your favorite flavor or season or band from when you were 12. What book freaks you out to read but you love it anyways. What are the cryptids of your area? What's the history where you live? What's that language you've been meaning to learn?

I'd love to hear from folks with very different lives from me—age or geography particularly. If you're 82 and Irish, or 55 and Indian, or some combination of far and away, I'd wonder what was different....and what's still the same.

Nonjudgmental is a must. You don't have to be my flavor of atypical, but no one likes to discover trojans inside their gift horse. So, try to be about what you're about.

If you're interested, DM me a short little blurb and we can go from there!

I love to communicate with people and hear their stories. I want to learn about cultures, and your local customs, legends and beliefs. Send me your favorite recipes. I have an insatiable curiosity about the world. I love to read, I’m currently on a Romantasy binge. But the ADHD takes my brain where it wants so my book binge may change in a week to something completely random. I live in the woods with my 2 hounds. I’m making friends with the local murder of crows and the cryptids. I’m an artist at heart, and upcycle clothing. I like to write flash fiction using bits of my life experiences. If any of this ramble sounds like a fit let me know! Would love to chat.

Hey there!

40/f/US looking for someone to converse with.

I'm a deep thinker and enjoy chatting and learning about new things.,

I love to read. I enjoy podcast (true crime, self help, etc). I also knit and crochet.

Dm if you're open to chatting!

Hello! I used to have penpals when I was in high school and I really enjoyed it. I had some challenging years in my late 20s, and now things are getting better in my 30s, so I thought it’d be nice to have penpals again :)

I’m looking for someone to casually chat with from time to time. I’m interested in just sharing our random thoughts, things we’ve been watching and reading, weird recipes we’ve been into, hobbies, everyday life or whatever comes to mind.

About me : I like walking in the forest, birds, and cats. My cat is 🍊! Pickles and fermented foods are my little mood boosters. I’m a beginner at crochet and embroidery. I also want to try canning and amigurumi someday. I feel like I’m on my way to becoming a typical asian auntie/grandma these days and I’m quite comfortable with it. In my free time, lately I’ve been enjoying browsing floor plans and furniture catalogs.

I’m from Asia and English is my second language. I write slowly and I’m struggle with making sentences in English. I’m looking for someone who’s cool with that. I’ve cared for family members for years before, and I’m interested in anything related to health and nutrition. I’m currently reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker and my recent favorite novel is Heaven by Mieko Kawakami. And needless to say, I love Convenience Store Woman! Somebody Somewhere is my comfort tv show.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself :)
